Bookworm – the new version of Raspberry Pi OS
It's an odd-numbered year, so there is a new major Debian release, and we are now releasing the corresponding version of Raspberry Pi OS.
You're viewing a single thread.
Without thinking or reading to the last paragraph of this article, I went and started a dist-upgrade on my pi.
Curious now to see if it still boots after it's finished.

One thing Debian introduced recently: apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs and they recommend that before a full dist-upgrade. I think it's made a pretty big difference in the upgrade smoothness, eliminating some possibly-breaking package upgrades.
edit: I say recently but I mean new-to-me
I haven't tried this, but maybe ssh -t "rm /var/cache/apt/archives/*deb" or something like to clear up some space would work.
This worked! I've got it running on a 4gb SD card so it's no wonder it ballooned, but once I got apt cleaned up it's now humming along at 83% usage.
Oh, yay! I'm a helper \o/
I have plenty of space, as the OS boots from a 256 GB SSD and a very minimal install. I may try to dist-upgrade after a backup.
As a followup, I just changed the repos and did the apt full upgrade. Everything works beautifully. But as I said, I had a very minimal headless install without any DE.
